(LOOGOOTEE) - The west gate at Crane Technology Park has unveiled plans for two new buildings to be constructed at the park this year.

The buildings are expected to house defense contractors and university partners now working at the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center.

"Inside Indiana Business" reported last month that plans are also underway for a retail complex just outside the park that could include a hotel. Plans now call for the addition of a residential development in the same area.
